It was a wonderful trip down memory lane for me to see them again. I had a flash of memory of the first image he painted - the stork, and remembered why I love art so much myself.

I'm discussing this story with Chinese primary school pupils (in English) and it really helps to have the English version of the story! Have a nice week. Paul. Thanks very much,

This was my favorite as a child too. The book that I have has the same story but told by someone else. The version I have is very descriptive, the one you have is very to the point. What I like the best is the artwork. Thanks for the link to Mr. Aitchison! Peace, Matt G Thanks for this, I just read this to my 7 year old before bed. This was my favorite as a child too.

I came across Julia Donalson's book the Magic Paintbrush and triggered my childhood memories of my own. Wil definitely be looking for this for my own kids. Thanks again.

Recently this book came up in conversation and we have been searching for it ever since! I never realised it was similar to the Three Little Pigs in the respect of having so many different versions, written by so many different authors, published by so many different companies. I have finally found the version that was so strongly saved in my memory - the pictures more than anything! I have bought many copies online that were not right. So now I can buy the right one - for both of us! So I too, was also pathetically pleased to find this book. . . . thank you!
